Bon Jovi Docuseries Premiering on Hulu

Bon Jovi is the subject of an upcoming four-part docuseries premiering on Hulu.

Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story will hit the streaming platform on Friday, April 26. Per Variety, the docuseries has the cooperation of all Bon Jovi members, both past and present. Additionally, the outlet notes the docuseries will "give viewers a glimpse at the life of the frontman behind the music."

A description of Thank You, Goodnight from Hulu also promises it will delve into the band's "most public moments of friction." Of course, this is likely a reference to the 2013 exit of guitarist Richie Sambora. At the time, Sambora cited wanting to spend more time with his daughter, Ava, who is now 26.

In November 2023, Sambora mentioned in an interview with People, "There's a documentary that's being done about the band and stuff that I've participated in, and people want to come see us play, and it's going to make everybody happy. I mean, essentially, that's why you do it at this point."

Sambora noted that if he rejoined Bon Jovi, it would be a matter of everyone being on board for it and that it would be "a big, massive kind of undertaking."

The last time he spoke on the potential of rejoining Bon Jovi was in September 2023 on an episode of Shred with Shifty, a podcast hosted by Foo Fighters guitarist Chris Shiflett. Sambora said he and Jon Bon Jovi have spoken on the phone about it. He added, "There's a demand out there for it, you know -- especially outside of the USA."

While Sambora said in November 2021 that his role in Bon Jovi was "to shut the f--- up," he certainly has been more vocal lately about rejoining the band in recent years. In November 2022, Sambora told U.K. outlet Metro that it was a possibility a reunion could take place at the 2023 installment of Glastonbury. (Obviously, that didn't happen.)

Bon Jovi has been active for over four decades, and they aren't showing signs of slowing down.

Their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame career has netted them over 130 million albums sold worldwide and legions of fans spanning generations.

Narrowing down their catalog to a select number of songs and ranking them is a daunting task, but here are Bon Jovi's 35 best songs, ranked.

A new docuseries about Bon Jovi is set to premiere on Hulu on April 26. The docuseries is titled Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story.

The docuseries also has the cooperation of all Bon Jovi members, both past and present. A teaser trailer of the docuseries offers a supercut of the band's wild career, including the exit of guitarist Richie Sambora.

Additionally, the teaser trailer shows Jon Bon Jovi in a hospital bed. He's holding a dry-erase board that simply says, "I'm good." Meanwhile, an unidentified voiceover says, "Jon's going through his challenges." It then cuts to JBJ saying, "It almost killed us."

The "challenges" appear to be about Bon Jovi's recent vocal issues, which he discussed during the Pollstar Live! conference in February 2024.

Per Ultimate Classic Rock, Bon Jovi said, "It's become public knowledge now, but I've had major reconstructive surgery in my vocal cords, and I never had anything like this, ever. So it's been a difficult road, but I found a doctor in Philadelphia who did something called a medialization, because one of my cords was literally atrophied."

A description of Thank You, Goodnight from Hulu also promises it will delve into the band's "most public moments of friction." Of course, this is likely a reference to the 2013 exit of Sambora, who has often talked about the potential of rejoining the band.
